In general practice, decision-making often comes down to nuance.

Especially when it concerns patients who may not be competent to consent. This training provides a clear legal and practical framework to navigate this with confidence.

You will gain insight into the difference between competence to consent and capacity to act.

Additionally, you will learn how representation through a trusted person or legal representative is carried out correctly.

The e-learning starts from the framework of patient rights and guides you through the three core phases of these complex situations.

This involves determining incapacity, identifying the appropriate representative, and making a responsible decision.

This training equips you with the tools to make well-founded decisions in situations where legal clarity and medical responsibility intersect.
